Still feeling ill but not ill enough to stay in.

12 miles through downtown, up City Creek, and back. Middle 4 miles at increased effort (not quite race effort).  Mile 8 was at goal race pace of 6:47 but downhill.

Still not feeling 100%.  I thought about taking a nap instead of running but decided it might only get harder to find my way out the door later in the week.  Plus this should be a big training week for Painter's.  I did fine and felt better after the run than before the run.

Plan called for 2 FFIs.  Ran on Jordan River Parkway.  Stayed on the plowed sections.  Only patches of slushy ice. 

1.05 mile warmup.

2 Fatigue Fighter Intervals.  Goal paces- 6:13, 6:29, 6:47

1.5 mile cool down.

 FFI #1-   0.25 mile, 6:11-167 bpm max;  100m recovery;  0.75 mile, 6:27-166bpm ave;  200m recovery;   2 miles, 6:49-171bpm ave (would have been on pace w/out U turns);  0.58 mile recovery.  Some wind but not too bad.

FFI #2-  0.26 mile, 6:11-173bpm max;  100m recovery;  0.75 mile, 6:29-169bpm ave;  200m recovery;  2 miles, 6:50-170bpm ave (6:54 & 6:46) (would have been close to pace w/out U turns).  Pushed very hard at the end.

1.5 mile cooldown.

1.55 miles warm up.

3 miles at goal pace (goal = 6:47).  mile1- 6:46, 165bpm.  mile2- 6:46, 174bpm.  mile3- 6:47, 177bpm.  ave=6:46, 172bpm. (180 bpm max).

1.7 miles cooldown.

I'm feeling better but still clearing out some phlem (gross).  I was able to keep pace today despite yesterday's intervals.  On the other hand I was starting to get tired after only 3 miles.  Tomorrow's run is supposed to include 5-6 miles at goal pace, yikes.

1.5 mile warm up.

6 miles at goal pace (6:47).  I didn't keep the pace.  1-6:49,162bpm.  2-6:48,170bpm.  3-6:52,172bpm.  4-6:56,173bpm.  5-6:58,173bpm.  6-6:51,173bpm.  average-6:53,170bpm.  6:51 would get me a sub 1:30 half.  So I was 2 seconds off that pace and 13 seconds off my goal pace.  On the bright side, this was after 2 days of speed work.  

1.5 mile cool down.

6 EZ miles with 6x100m strides.  Felt good. Ran downtown and up Memory Grove. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
